trying to install gd and I get this error:

/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:20:2: #error
"`ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!"
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:21:2: #error "Please

/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:22:2: #error "Example:"
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:23:2: #error "  #include

/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:24:2: #error "  #include

Anyone have any ideas?
